On early Saturday morning, 68-year-old Charles Smith, a Baton Rouge man, lost his life following a two-vehicle collision in Livingston Parish.
The fatal car crash took place just after 7:30 a.m. on LA 16, north of LA 1033. The preliminary investigation showed that Smith was driving a 2008 Lincoln MKZ south on LA 16 while a 2018 Jeep Wrangler was heading north on LA 16. At some point of time, the Lincoln drifted off the road to the right, re-entered the roadway before going over the centerline and crashing into the front of the Jeep.
Smith suffered major injuries and was declared dead at the scene by the officials. He was wearing a seatbelt at the time of the accident. The driver of the Jeep was also wearing a seatbelt at that time. They received moderate injuries and were transported to a hospital for treatment. No additional information was released.
An investigation is continuing.
